Rehearsing is one thing. Performing is another🎶
When you play something like Paganini alongside Joshua Bell, it's not just about hitting the right notes. It's about finding the character in them, the coquettishness, the personality that makes the piece come alive.
Listen to his new album PAGANINI!

How ASMF began🎻
Neville Marriner, Michael Bowie and Simon Streatfeild started with an idea: a different kind of ensemble. More flexible. More collegiate. What they built became one of the world's premier chamber orchestras, founded in 1958 and still conductor-less today.
